Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 130 Chapter 130
The next day was indeed a sunny day. Yao Xiaoqing carried the prepared medicine, dried meat, and bacon to Mufeng and the others. They sent Yaohu and the others out of the tribe, and returned to the tribe after watching them go far.

Yao Xiaoqing saw that the ice in the pond had also started to melt, and was worried that the snow on the mountain would melt and cause floods, so he took Uncle A Chong and the others to dredge the ditch from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

When I went down the mountain, I took a look again. Some of the fruit trees planted outside the fence were frozen to death, and the pear trees, persimmon trees, and pepper trees... were still alive.

The next day, the water rushed down from the ravine, the water in the pond began to overflow, and the fish ran out along the water.

Ah Chong and Ah Shui hurriedly lowered the net to the water outlet of the west wall.All the fish caught in the net were three or four to one or two catties, and not a single big fish weighing more than three or four catties was seen.

Ah Chong looked at the fish in the bucket and said, "Xiaoqing, we have caught all the big fish in the pond."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Uncle Chong, pick out the big fish and put the small fish back into the ponds. In the future, the small fish caught in the river will also be raised in the ponds." She planned to put the small fish in the ponds. Take advantage of it.

Ah Chong responded readily: "Okay, I'll put these small ones back into the net, and put them back into the pond when the water recedes.

"You guys do it first, I'll go see how those sugarcane seedlings are doing?"

Shan Amu, who sent the barrel over, put down the barrel after hearing it, "Xiaoqing, I'll go and have a look with you."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and the two walked around the field, only to find that only a few sugarcane leaves had turned green, and [-]% of them had withered and turned yellow.

Yao Xiaoqing sighed again and again with heartache, went outside the house to look at those old pockets, and felt that now he could only count on them to regenerate new shoots.

Shan'am comforted her and said: "Xiaoqing, don't sigh, let's look slowly, and we will find it."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Yeah! We have to open the ground quickly and scatter the seeds when it gets warmer." She clenched her fists tightly, already like this, sighing can't solve the problem, let's plant the food first, I hope God rewards me with a meal, don't bother people anymore.

"Okay, let's go back and eat the food first, and then we'll come out to open the land. There are so many people, and the drive is still very fast." Shan Amu pulled Yao Xiaoqing back.

When the two walked through the taro field, Yao Xiaoqing said to Shan'am: "Come and dig some taro plants later to see if they are damaged by the frost?"

Shan Amu smiled and nodded, "It doesn't seem to be damaged by frost, dig it up and open the ground, and then you can plant seeds."

The two returned to the cafeteria, Yun Amu and the others had already prepared the food.

When Ah Chong and Ah Shui came back, Yao Xiaoqing said to them: "Uncle Chong, except for the sentinels, everyone else is going to open the fields in the afternoon. We must open the fields as soon as possible to plant food."

"Okay! The water in the ditch is bigger than in the morning, so we put the small fish in the fish cage." Uncle Chong said.

"You can figure it out."

After a while, Yaya and Asen, who were herding the cows and goats, came back with Dashi and the others.

Yun Amu and the others brought pancakes and soup to the stone table.

Pumpkin soup and chestnut cakes, everyone ate it in two or three bites, and then walked towards the taro field with stone hoes, wooden shovels, reeds, and baskets.

Yao Xiaoqing dug up several taro plants with a hoe, and took a look at the taro seeds from the mother taro, and found that they were all good and not frozen.

She looked at the cattail grass spread on it, and summed up her experience. Before cultivating soil for overwintering next time, first cover a layer of grass, and then cultivate soil thickly, so that the overwintering plants will not be damaged by freezing.

Taro pickled the taro, "The taro is still resistant to freezing, except for the insects, none of it rotted."

Dong Xue looked at her and laughed, "Taros are very resistant to freezing, you can see that they are whitening." Everyone laughed.

"Bad guy! Mine is taro." Taro picked up a piece of mud and beat Dongxue a little. "It's no wonder it's not white after raising it for so long. Look at our Xiaoqing's pretty face."

Shan Amu glanced at Yao Xiaoqing with a smile, "Our Xiaoqing is just looking good!"

"Hey!" Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Yao Xiaoqing stood up and looked at them, "Don't look at me! Think about why the taro is not rotten."

"I think it's because of the grass," Hua turned her head to look at Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, we should also cover the sugarcane with cattail grass."

Hua is still careful, Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Hua summed it up right! Learn the lesson, and you must remember it next time."

Dongxue nodded again and again, "Hey! We all remembered."

Only then did Yao Xiaoqing realize that some of the pregnant women Asu and Mu had slightly bulged abdomens.

Seeing their carefree looks, he said to them, "Asu, you guys go sit on the ridge of the field and break taro seeds, pick out the round ones and put them aside for seeding."

A Su responded with a smile, "Understood Xiao Qing."

More than 20 people were busy all afternoon, and they dug up all the taro before dark.

Yao Xiaoqing took a look at the taro seeds that Asu and the others had selected, and saw that all of them were round and plump, so she put the taro seeds back into the basket with confidence.

Everyone picked up the taro seeds that had been picked out, carried them to the roof of the building that had not collapsed and spread them out to dry, went back to eat food, and went back to rest.

There are two people missing in the family, and it always feels deserted.

Yao Xiaoqing was lying on the bed, thinking for a while, where did Yaohu and the others go?After a while, I wondered if the golden retriever went back to the Dawu tribe?

Dried vegetables and taro sticks have been eaten long ago, and pumpkin and nut cakes are the same every day.

For Yao Xiaoqing, who is used to eating rice and eating all kinds of delicacies, it is a kind of torture.

Yao Xiaoqing suddenly thought of something to eat, patted his head and said to himself, "Bamboo shoots! Why did I forget you!"

She thought of roast beef brisket with bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots in cold salad, bamboo shoots with chopped peppers...and a bowl of white rice.

With a "gudong" he swallowed the overflowing saliva in his mouth, the more he thought about it, the more greedy he was, and when he thought of delicious food, his saliva overflowed.

Yao Xiaoqing rolled around on the kang with the skin in his arms, and couldn't think about it anymore, and couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing came back from exercising and walked towards the cafeteria.

As soon as they got there, they heard the neighing of wild boars, and Shan Amu and the others ran out of the cafeteria.

"Achong and the others went to see the trap, did they catch a live boar?" Shan Amu laughed.

Chun'am stood on tiptoe and watched, "It must be, otherwise, where would the sound of the pig come from?"

After a while, I saw A Zongbo carrying two wild boars, and two people walking over with pheasants and rabbits in their hands, smiling all over their faces.

Achong said cheerfully, "Xiaoqing, I caught a live piglet in the trap, and it's still a female."

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at the big pig with several blood holes on its body, "Didn't the wooden thorns in the trap pierce it?"

Ah Chong smiled and said, "These two must be mother and son. They may have just fallen this morning. The older one fell first, and the younger one fell on its mother. When we went there, they were screaming happily."
